\fBroffbib\fR prints out all records in a bibliographic database, in
bibliography format rather than as footnotes or endnotes. Generally it is used
in conjunction with \fBsortbib\fR(1):

.SH OPTIONS

\fBroffbib\fR accepts all options understood by \fBnroff\fR(1) except \fB-i\fR
and \fB-q\fR.

\fB\fB-e\fR\fR

.RS 15n
Produce equally-spaced words in adjusted lines using full terminal resolution.
.RE

.ne 2

\fB\fB-h\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
Use output tabs during horizontal spacing to speed output and reduce output
character count. \fBTAB\fR settings are assumed to be every 8 nominal character
widths.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-m\fR\fI filename\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
Prepend the macro file \fB/usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.name\fR to the input files.
There should be a space between the \fB-m\fR and the macro filename. This set
of macros will replace the ones defined in \fB/usr/share/lib/tmac/tmac.bib\fR.

\fB\fB-n\fR\fIp\fR\fR

Number first generated page \fIp\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-o\fR\fIlist\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
Print only page numbers that appear in the comma-separated \fIlist\fR of
numbers and ranges. A range \fIN\fR\fB\(mi\fR\fIM\fR means pages \fIN\fR
through \fIM\fR; an initial \fB-\fR\fIN\fR means from the beginning to page
\fIN\fR; a final \fIN\fR\fB\(mi\fR means from page \fIN\fR to end.

\fB\fB-Q\fR\fR

.RS 15n
Queue output for the phototypesetter.  Page offset is set to 1 inch.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-r\fR\fIaN\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
Set register \fIa\fR (one-character) to \fIN\fR. The command-line argument
\fB-rN1\fR will number the references starting at 1.
.sp
Four command-line registers control formatting style of the bibliography, much
like the number registers of \fBms\fR(7). The flag \fB-rV2\fR will double space
the bibliography, while \fB-rV1\fR will double space references but single
space annotation paragraphs. The line length can be changed from the default
6.5 inches to 6 inches with the \fB-rL6i\fR argument, and the page offset can
be set from the default of 0 to one inch by specifying \fB-rO1i\fR (capital O,
not zero).

\fB\fB-s\fR\fIN\fR\fR

.RS 15n

Several \fB%X\fR fields may be given if several annotation paragraphs are
desired.
